Chelsea in Talks with Crystal Palace for Michael Olise Transfer

Chelsea are looking to secure the signing of Michael Olise from Crystal Palace by offering two first team squad members in a swap deal. Despite failing to sign Olise last summer with a £35 million offer, Chelsea have renewed their interest in the attacker. Olise has a release clause worth up to £60 million in his contract, which Chelsea failed to activate previously. Trevoh Chalobah and Noni Madueke could be included in the offer. Both players are on long-term deals at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are open to including fringe players like Chalobah and Armando Broja in any deal for Olise. Manchester United and other clubs are also interested in Olise, but Chelsea are confident in landing their target. Palace officials have expressed concerns over Chelsea's pursuit of Olise, but Chelsea have made a formal request to discuss a potential deal. Olise has shown a willingness to stay at Palace if they show ambition in the transfer market. Losing Olise, Eze, and Guehi would be a blow to Palace, who are looking to strengthen their team with new signings. Last summer, Chelsea's pursuit of Olise was marred by tapping-up complaints from Palace, but this summer, Chelsea have made a formal request to discuss a potential deal.
